Product Description
The Cisco Metro 1500 series system is a high-performance, wavelength division
multiplexer that provides bidirectional data communication. It is designed for
communication over optical links in which different devices or applications are
communicating over multiple fibers. Using wavelength conversion, several
devices can communicate while being connected over one duplex fiber or two
single fibers.
The Cisco Metro 1500 series system expands the distance and application
capabilities of existing local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks
(MANs), and storage area networks (SANs). It is protocol-independent and can
support virtually any fiber-optic device.

Communication Channels
The Cisco Metro 1500 series operatesusingtheInternationalTelecommunication
Union (ITU) wavelength grid of 200-GHz channel spacing. It receives the signal
from the local device and convertsitto the desired wavelength. Only single-mode
fibers (remote or trunk fibers) are used for multiplexed data transmission.
The Cisco Metro 1500 series system provides communication within a broad
range of data rates, up to 2.488 Gbps, and within a guaranteed optical budget. The
system is transparent to any data communication protocol except wavelength
channel modules (WCMs) with clock recovery. For more details on data rates,
optical budgets, and supported protocols, see Appendix A, “Specifications.”
The Cisco Metro 1500 series system also provides monitoring and service
functions such as loss of light and bit-rate control, as well as local and remote
loopback.
Communication Channels
DWDM technology allows different channels to be combined for transportation
over one fiber pair. A pair of multiplexer (MUX) and demultiplexer (DMX)
modules assemble the channels into four groups of up to eight channels. The band
splitter module (BSM) assembles and disassembles the four groups for the two
remote fibers.
The optional remote switch module (RSM) provides line protection to the system.
If the working line fails, the RSM routes the combined service automatically to a
backup line. If used, the RSM is installed only in the primary chassis.

The Cisco Metro 1500 series system can be expanded by adding more WCMs.
Adding extension chassis A, B, and C (Figure 1-4 to Figure 1-6) at both ends of
the communications link upgrades the system to transport a total of 32
independent channels. A network element management interface (NEMI) can
control up to two chassis and up to four NEMIs can be combined through an
Ethernet hub or switch to appear as a single system as seen by a Network
Management System (NMS). Werecommend that you initially install the primary
chassis and extension chassis A, which holds the BSM, to avoid service
interruption while upgrading the unit to more than eight channels. The primary
chassis and the extension chassis are each equipped with two fully redundant
load-sharing, hot-swappable power supply modules (PSMs), as shown in
Figure 1-3 to Figure 1-6.

Communication Channels
Each WCM has fiber-optic cables attached to its front panel. The remote lines of
each WCM are connected to the MUX and DMX of the chassis. The common
input and output connections of MUXs and DMXs (M1 to M4/D1 to D4) are
connected to the BSM (M1 to M4/D1 to D4) in extension chassis A. For more
information on the MUX/DMX modules, see the “Multiplexer and Demultiplexer
Modules” section on page 1-22. The common input or output of the BSM
(MUX/DMX) can be connected to the RSM receiver or transmitter (MUX/DMX)
connector.The signals of the remote link are then present at the line A and line B
connectors of the RSM.
16-Channel WCM System
A 16 channel WCM system consists of two chassis. Chassis 1 includes the NEMI
module and chassis 2 holds the DEMI module. Both NEMI and DEMI have to be
interconnected using an external bus cable to allow management and
configuration control information to pass between the two chassis. The NEMI is
configurable by the customer. For more details, refer to the Cisco Metro 1500Series Software Configuration Guide.
Chapter 1Product Overview
32-Channel WCM System
NEMIs exchange their data over a connection and the two originally independent
16 channel WCM systems appear to the outside as a single 32-channel WCM
system. When two 16-channel units are connected in this manner, the NEMI in
chassis 1 is configured to be a NEMI-master and the NEMI in chassis 3 is
configuredtobeaNEMI-slave. Both NEMIs are connected through their Ethernet
ports to the Ethernet hub. For more details, refer to the Cisco Metro 1500 SeriesSoftware Configuration Guide.

Chassis
Airflow System
The airflow system includes an air intake at the bottom front side of the chassis
and a fan module with two fans at the rear of the chassis. Two redundant power
supplies power the fan module. The chassis internal air temperature controls the
rotational speed of the fans.
The state of the fan module can either be observed through the NEMI-master or
it can be read off the fan LEDs at the front side of the chassis. A green light
indicates that everything is in working order. A red light signals that either a fan
or a fan power supply is not working properly, which does not necessarily
endanger the functioning of the air flowsystembecause there are backup fans and
fan power supplies. Refer to the Cisco Metro 1500 Series Software ConfigurationGuide for more information about fan observation using the NEMI-master. The
ocmstate-f provides information on the fans.
You can check the fan module status on the display panel at the front of the chassis
and through the NEMI. For more information about using the NEMI to check the
fan status, refer to the Cisco Metro 1500 Series Software Configuration Guide.
Chapter 1Product Overview
CautionThe fan system can only be replaced by Cisco-trained and -certified
technicians.
Power Supply Module
The Cisco Metro 1500 series system provides high reliability in data and
telecommunication applications because it has two identical, fully redundant
power supplies. Each power supply can take over the power needs of the entire
system. These power supplies provide 5V at 30A to the system, and full
input-to-output, input-to-case, and output-to-output isolation. For detailed
information on the power supply and how to replace it, see the “Determining
Power Supply Status” section on page 3-23.
The state of the PSMs can either be observed through the NEMI-Master or it can
be read off the LEDs at the front side of the frame. If both PSMs are working the
green or red power LED is lit, otherwise there is no light at all.
